Me too, though I'm only familiar with his Conan stories, which I reread once in a while.

You should definitely read the Kull stories, if you like Conan they fill in a lot of background in the pre-Cataclysm age. Kull is a lot more thoughtful than Conan, I actually prefer him as a character.

>>12654577
No, but he was a carer for her his entire life and her worsening illness made him very depressed. He was already mentally fucked up when she went into the coma.

Holy based. I'll try to read this guy. I plan to do the same but i want to drown myself. Shooting yourself in the head is unaesthetic.

Drowning sounds terrible I prefer shooting ones head with a shotgun

It's just 3 minutes of agony. You're killing yourself because you've endured years of suffering and now want to quit but don't want to end it in a mere 3-4 minutes? It isn't that terrible, plus it doesn't leave a bloody mess for someone to clean.

There's very unpleasant panic too, which is not present of you shoot yourself.

fascinating Conan threads— Conan laughs at other types like egghead scientists, as Conan survives while they die out

>> No.12656188

The Conan stories were a lot of fun, even if I found Conan as a character kind of obnoxious.

It's a real shame that Howard killed himself.

>>12654577
>>12654611
IIRC, by that point in his life he had become quite socially isolated, and his mother was one of very few people that were close to him.
